Few weeks ago I was looking for something like this. If there was anything similar, it was always sold out or did never launch, I don't expect better availability with item. And if they ask for $100 which is way too high and would give me better boards, pls provide two M2 slots.

If you're going to split a 1x PCIe lane into two M2 slots, you might as well save the cash and get a Pi4 and use two USB3 thumbdrives instead. The performance would be about equal by that point.
Ofc I'm aware of this and this is what I did, I just want a nice form factor.
The PI 4 only has a single PCIe lane. Two M.2 Slots would require a PCIe switch which would make things more complex and expensive, as well as limiting the overall performance if you were trying to use both drives simultaneously.
